Where Does Letterboxd Store Diaries and Lists?
Where Letterboxd keeps diaries and lists on Android and iPhone, and what the account holds. Full paths are listed below.
Last updated
Letterboxd is diary cloud with phone logging. Your account holds films, diaries, and lists. The phone caches posters and review drafts.
Same username means same four favorites. Exact cache names shift with Patron versus free builds. Keep online during festivals so logs upload. If the diary empties, check the username first. A second account with a similar handle is the classic empty diary cause with film apps. Screenshots of settings help when support asks for reproduction steps later. Check the in app storage readout when sizes look wrong on different releases.

How do I move my Letterboxd diary to a new phone?
Sign in on the new phone with the same email and diary returns from the cloud. Phone holds login and poster cache only. Lists read from account. Check the username before wiping, since a second account shows empty and hides Pro stats.
Does Letterboxd back up my diary?
Yes, in Letterboxd cloud with full diary history per profile. Phone holds a working copy plus poster cache. Stats rebuild after sign in. Export CSVs from settings for records, since the phone never holds the master diary alone.
